In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas? a.) at low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apartb.) when the molecules are highly polar, because imf are more likelyc.) at room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apartd.) at high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.

Explanation:

For gas to behave as an ideal gas there are 2 basic assumptions:

In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?

A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apart. FALSE. At low temperatures, molecules are closer and IMF are more appreciable.

B.) When the molecules are highly polar, because IMF are more likely. FALSE. When IMF are stronger the gas does not behave as an ideal gas.

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart. TRUE.

D.) At high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules. FALSE. At high pressures, the distance between molecules is small and IMF are strong.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
